Well, it was a picture perfect morning! Right from legal time until minutes before 9:00 a.m., where I was about to shoot a good buck. I was covered in deer during the entire hunt and it all started with a couple of grunt calls that I made first thing, at approximately 7:15 a.m.
- 4- Antlered deer - 2 of them I believe many would have shot if given the opportunity.
- 2 - Big adult does and,
- 2 - Young deer, one was a button, not sure what the other was exactly.
- 8 - deer encounters in total within 2 1/2 hours, all within bow range. In fact, half within 20 yards.
Plenty of photographs taken and some videos of the much closer encounters as well, including one of them captured on my bow Tactacam camera I do believe, of the buck I was about to shoot at 15 yards, the last deer of this morning's hunt.
I was intending on putting the icing on the cake of today's hunt, but I could not close the deal.
I am a little taken back by the missed opportunity, however I do feel quite blessed in having such an awesome time this morning.
All the details will be in my hunt journal later on this evening.
I do intend on getting back out because the bucks were most definitely seeking out the ladies over the last 12 hours or better.
Good luck to all those that are out hunting today!
